Today on the podcast I sit down and talk with 5th degree Uechi-Ryu Karate black belt and retired federal judge, Jose Sanchez.

Jose began his martial arts practice in 1983, starting in Seido Karate in New York City, later moving to Massachusetts and beginning his Uechi-Ryu Karate training. He received his Shodan in 1988 and is testing for his 6th degree master's rank later this year. He also cross trains in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

During our interview Jose talks about how his martial arts and Uechi-Ryu Karate training has kept his body healthy and active over the years. We also discuss his varied professions as an air traffic controller, criminal defense lawyer, and judge and how the martial arts have aided him in keeping composed during high stress and high stakes situations.

I find every conversation I have with Jose to be engaging and intriguing and I know you will too. Please enjoy, Jose Sanchez.
